Prepare yourselves for the most unreliable ult

With the upcoming changes to Fiora, you'll know the true meaning of "unreliable". It looks good on paper when all you have to do is mark an enemy and hit them from four directions, but in reality, it'll never happen. There is too much counterplay to Fiora's ult.

  1. Bigger models makes it harder to get the 4 hits. All you have to do is pick Cho'Gath into Fiora and she'll never get her ult off on you.

  2. Unit collision will make Fiora's ult a nightmare during teamfights. Good luck rushing Phantom Dancer and trying to deal damage at the same time.

  3. Possible bugs that will probably be rolled out onto live servers. On PBE, I was trying to get the ult off BY FLASHING behind the target, but it still didn't proc one of the vital spots.

  4. Overall poor design of the ult makes it not worth using. If you get ulted by Fiora, just move back away from the enemy team. Even if she gets the healing AOE onto the floor, the enemy team will be too far away to use it.

In conclusion, you might as well get item 3153 item 3022 and some CDR so you can chase down an enemy for life. OR, you can play against those ADCs that don't move and kite when they attack.

The ult is mainly going to go off during team fights, I really dislike the new Fiora though, I'll try her out when she releases and hopefully she will be fun but I like the old Fiora a lot and there is basically nothing left.

You don't have to hit all the zones for the Ult to have a use. You can literally just use it as a zoning tool, so the target runs away so you can't hit a certain side or just hit the sides you can for the damage/heal/speed. If you know the target is too mobile, don't Ult them; it'd just be like Vi (among many others) ulting Fizz when you know his Playful/Trickster is up.

Oh ya, and use your allies or Riposte to stun.

Items Phantom Dancer. item 3046 (move through units)

Abilities (suggestion #1) Update Lunge during ultimate to assist: Success: One free Lunge. Update Riposte during ultimate to assist. Success: One free Lunge.

  • Retract free Lunge on ultimate finish.

Abilities (suggestion #2) Split Ultimate's movespeed buff: Flat & Incremental movespeed buffs. FLAT (dance): To torque momentum To and From target. INCREMENTAL (chase): Moving towards ult target. Reach movespeed cap will refresh Lunge.

Fast-moving like before but with skill. Since many players play Yasuo and maybe want more plays like Yasuo this idea offers that and may fit her fencing style. All makes sense; must see it.

It also works if you manage to proc just 1 mark before the enemy dies. The enemy doesn't even need to die to you in particular.
